Ok so first off I'll start by saying why I chose to play this game. The Career mode got some upgrades in the last years and it reached a point where it's enjoyable and well made but they have so many good ideas from the community that they can add but no, they choose to add them 1 by 1 so you buy all the games they launch. I also enjoyed playing Volta with my friends, which is the only online mode that was kind of playable but the goalkeepers are way OP in my opinion, it's also true that on pitches with bigger goals it's easy to score but if you play on small street field with small goals it's very hard to score if you don't fool the goalkeeper first (and even if you do most of the times they still manage to somehow block the shot) which may seem realistic but it's not, they just turn intro prime Neuer. These 2 game mods and playing 1v1 with your friends are the only reasons to buy the game, maybe if in the future they will improve Pro Clubs which has potential and that will be another fun gamemode to play but now it's not worth it, it needs more things and they have so many sources of inspiration to choose from.

I won't even start to talk about all things that are bad about Ultimate Team, so I will only approach the most frustrating problem in my view. I just don't understand why they have chosen to add women in UT without atleast making feminine football separate from masculine. It's not about the inclusion of women in UT, it's just how they are rated compared to the men, I think it would be a big plus to UT if they made 2 models so you can build a full women team and also a mens team but separated. They just boosted all women's OVR and made them overpowered for their real life stats, I mean a CB women card with higher OVR can stop a striker that has twice her weight and speed just because she has an exaggerated rating in game. The ratings in UT have always been silly but it's such a major flaw this year.

The optimization it's just trash like all FIFA games on PC, it seems like EA just doesn't optimize their games, from 240 FPS constant I usually get only 60-80 on corners or free kicks, and only once in 100 times I get the full 240 frames that I should get everytime, this is a minor problem that happens every time and that's why I mentioned it but there are too many other important bugs that happen. This game has more bugs and glitches than any other FIFA title. Probably because EA knows they have no competition so people will be forced to play the games they offer just because they have no other choice. Unfortunately FIFA will slowly lose its player base if EA doesn't take into account the opinions of their customers. And as we know, they are mostly just a money hungry company and don't care about us, but I hope they would be more dedicated towards making their games better in the future so we can have the experience we had with older FIFA titles. I really hope some other game developers start competing with EA so they can step up and start caring about their games otherwise this mockery will keep going on.
